❝...Uh.. hello? Is this thing on?❞
❝...Right-- okay.❞ He cleared his throat before proceeding into the eye of the camera. ❝...my name is Robin, and I'm a member of the Teen Titans. We fight evil to keep this city safe... but as hard as we try, and as much as we wish it weren't true... we can't save everyone.❞
❝But you can.❞
❝ALS is a terrible disease, but you don't have to be a hero to fight it. All you have to do is make a small donation in the name of ALS research, and you can help put this disease on its last leg. It only takes o n e person to make a difference.❞
❝...and so, uh...❞ He tugged at the collar of his cape with some palpable nervousness (and perhaps a slight bit of irritation as well), ❝...to raise awareness, I've been nominated to take the ALS ice bucket challenge by Kid Flash (fastest-boy-alive). Which is what I'm gonna do now-- but I'm also going to donate. Because that's what the point of all this is. We can finish this disease together. ...so... here goes, I guess.❞ He heaved a sigh and with almost tangible reluctance evident in the tense set of his shoulders, addressed his cyber-kinetic friend standing just off camera.
❝...go ahead, Cyborg.❞ He cringed, shoulders rising up to the level of his ears while the eyes of his mask squeezed shut into one long, black slit across the bridge of his nose.
❝BOO-YAAAH!!❞ The off screen Titan cried out, cranking back the sealant lever of a fire hose and unleashing a powerful blast of ice cold water that knocked the acrobat clean off his feet.
❝Gaah--!❞ He sputtered, gathering his sopping self with a furious shiver. ❝--MAN that's cold.❞ He shuddered, heaving himself back to his feet and swiping one gloved hand through his hair in an attempt to repair the cramp in his style; but to no avail.
❝--alright. I nominate Starfire (tamarxnean), Beast Boy (xferapuer), Jericho (quietesthero), Speedy (archeroftheeast), and Jinx (betterlucknexxtime).
You have until 11AM Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. And don't forget to donate. Titans, Move Out.❞
And with the order commanded, he cut the feed.
